HUMANITARIAN: AirSource Assists after Russian Meteor
Posted: 16 Feb 2013 14:44A meteor crashed to Earth in Russia Friday, injuring around 1,000 people as the shock wave and debris from a "biblical, cosmic" flash in the sky blew out windows and rocked buildings.
The meteoroid estimated to be about 10 tons entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of at least 33,000 mph, producing a sonic boom. It shattered into pieces between 18-32 miles above the ground, showering the Urals city of Chelyabinsk with debris.
Glass windows and doors were blown out, several building were damaged. Hundreds of people were injured.
AirSource will assist with transporting building supplies and windows to Chelyabinsk until mid-March.
